J. Red "California" - Acne "Max - Cash"

[englandmj7]

Can anyone post a pic wearing either of these? I am trying to get either one online and can't tell from the skinny ass models wearing them how they would fit me.

I wear a 33"x34" in Nudie Slim Jims (a little loose on the waist though); could I fit a 32" in either of these models? I don't want to go much tighter on the legs than Slim Jims..........Thanks!

I just got a pair of calis, 29X34, I'll try to get a picture later, but I don't know if it'll help much since I'm as skinny (if not more so) as those models...

My suggestion would be to go a size down from your true waist (like I did) if you want a tight fit... it's comfortable, but definitely slim, though there's plenty of room in the ass and crotch. The tapering is really slight on the lower leg, you probably wouldn't notice that it's not straight leg at first glance. If you want to sag them, definitely go with your true size or maybe even a size up.

^^ Thanks for the help, I would appreciate the pic too......

Hi, first post..

This is a pic of my california's, I'm a 30x32 but went a size UP and got 31x32. It was a good move as I wouldn't have got into a smaller pair. I read a lot of contradictory reports about sizing up or down on here but decided I didn't want them too tight, for me these are perfect:

[ngbetter11]

do the julian red calis have a button fly or zip?

i know it probably doesnt make much of a difference, but i just like buttons fly more =/

[emuRay]

Im pretty sure Calis have a button fly.

[gomi no sensei]

They do have a button fly.

[singlet2]

The look a little like APC's-singed denim maybe. From the pix it looks like these have a little of a lsah front pocket. is that true?

[gomi no sensei]

what's lsah?

[horriblyjollyjinx]

JR cali and Acne Max are not comparable cuts. The Max's are like Hobokens and the Cali'ss are like New Standards.

Oh sorry, I didn't know, I live in the U.S. We don't measure weight with stones anymore nor do we have Kings and Queens.

In fact we're so progressive we measure everything in SI! Kilometers, kilograms! No more idiotic conversions like 36 inches = 3 feet = 1 yard....

...Oh wait, that's Europe. Where they have kings and queens.

so hows the shrinkage on these?

im just hoping the size chart on fos5 is correct (theyre a size smaller than the marked size??)

[gomi no sensei]

I don't know if they're actually a size smaller than the marked size, but they have a good amount of stretch to them, they will stretch at least an inch. If you want them snug on the waist go a size smaller.

[ngbetter11]

i usually wear 33 in most denim...and i was wondering if i shuold size up or down...cause i dont think id be able to wear the 32s comfortably...

[ngbetter11]

nvm...

not sure how precise the info is..but it is off the fos5 site

i guess i should get a 32? lol

[gomi no sensei]

Da. Don't forget they stretch too... If you want them snug, get a 31. It'll suck for a day or two, but it'll give you a great fit after about a week of wear. (That is if your waist is actually a 33... if you just wear 33 jeans normally it might be slightly larger/smaller than that, depending on the brands you wear)

[ngbetter11]

would you happen to have the thigh and knee measurements of a size 31..?

[ngbetter11]

im not sure wht to believe anymore...

the people at mynudies are all saying the calis run a size SMALLER than the actual tag size..but fos5's chart is saying that it runs a size LARGER than the actual tag size...

i think ill just get the 32's..unless i can get some concrete info or something...

i mean i can always return/exchange if they dont fit (i hope..)
